Fundraising - how YOU can help!

As a registered charity we are completely self-financing except for the local authority funding which is available for 3 and 4 year olds.

Throughout the year we organise various fund-raising events, which are both fun and a chance of getting involved in the community. We rely on the support of parents at these events to ensure the future of the playgroup.

Hot off the Press - Purchase our new T-Shirts, Sweatshirts & Bags

Back due to popular demand, we are now able to offer parents another

chance to purchase our high quality T-shirts printed with the PVPG logo.

In addition, we are also offering quality Sweatshirts with embroidered

logo and water resistant, drawstring Shoe Bags with the PVPG logo.

This great range comes in over 20 colours, is hardwearing and solves

 the problem of what to wear for playgroup.

Sweatshirts (sizes 24” and 26” £8.85)

T-Shirts (3-4 and 5-6 £4.85)

Shoe Bags (£4.00)

See the samples in Playgroup. All profits go towards the purchase of

new play equipment for your children. Please make cheques payable

to PVPG. Thank you.

Save money and support your playgroup with our Online Shop

We have launched an online shop to raise funds. Over 90 retailers involved pay us commission on everything you buy and it won't cost you an extra penny! You are charged the same price as going directly to the retailers website, but if you access their websites from our online shop, they pay us commission.

Retailers include M&S, John Lewis, Amazon, Early Learning Centre, Comet, Littlewoods, BT, NTL, Carphone Warehouse, Virgin Wines and many more. Shop from the comfort of your own home and save with online discounts.

Cake stall

We run a cake stall every month on a Friday afternoon. Donations of cakes should be delivered to the playgroup by the Friday morning of the advertised date. We know there are cake makers out there as they have provided cakes for the recent car boot event. If you are new to cake making then perhaps we could have a recipe swap!!

Need a Birthday Party Venue?

The playgroup rooms and toys are available to rent for £30.00 plus refundable deposit of £50.

Operation Squirrel

Please bring in any used printer and fax cartridges as we can get money for them. They are sent to be recycled and the playgroup can earn itself some money at the same time.

Books for sale

There are three book clubs that visit playgroup. For every 10 books that we sell, we can claim a free book to the value of 10% of the total cost.

Jam Jar Lottery

One of our biggest fundraisers at the fetes has been our Jam Jar Lottery - a big hit with the kids! To help us fill the jars, please could you donate any small items that you may collect from cereal boxes or small toys - they just need to be small enough to fit into our jars.

Gazebo for hire

We have now purchased a gazebo, a very large ice box and a 6ft folding table which are all available for hire. The cost is £15 per item, with an £80 returnable deposit (in cheque form please). Or hire all three items together for £30 with a £150 deposit.

Gift Aid

Using Gift Aid means that for every pound you give, the charity you are supporting will receive an extra 28 pence from the Inland Revenue, helping your donation go further.

This means that £10 can be turned into £12.80 just so long as donations are made through Gift Aid. Imagine what a difference that could make, and it doesn’t cost you a thing!
